Välkommen till folkhemmet is the sixth studio (seventh overall) album by the Swedish pop and rock artist Magnus Uggla. It was released in 1983 and is his first album to focus on what later became his signature sound, pop rock with satirical lyrics. The album was awarded a Rockbjörnen award in the category "Swedish record of the year".[1] The song "IQ" is a cover of Bruce Woolley's "Blue Blue (Victoria)", with new unrelated lyrics in Swedish.
